If have to use it, I will. But i know that it translates each word, not necessarily the thought behind it. SO sometimes, the translation reads badly.

But, it will be better than nothing!

Thank you

I've been called "mama" by Hispanic men more than a few times. I thought, at first, it was an insult. Then I thought it was supposed to be showing respect for elders. But after a few times, and the way it's been said, I think, well, I don't have a clue. Is it just how we would use ma'am?

Man to woman--probably saying he thinks you're, um, very attractive.

I thought it meant I looked old. I'll take attractive over old any day. Not that a person can't be both, I just don't like this aging shit. Whose idea was that anyway?

I had no doubt you were being friendly. We're marrily after all.
